Acanthurus chirurgus HELP

[o0o_the_mutt_o0o]

So I have a Acanthurus chirurgus or Doctor Fish, the problem I am having with him is he keeps digging holes in the sand and constantly messing everything up. I've had him for two weeks now and he's eating everything in sight. He's not rubbing himself on the sand or rocks, he's just being messy. I'm out of ideas any help with this would be greatly apprexiated.

Tank size: 125 fowlr w/29g refugium
Fish: 9" blue angel, 3" spotted hawkfish, 5" puffer, 4" maroon clown, 5" lionfish, and 7" doctorfish.
